A MARKETPLACE MOBILE APP FOR ENTERPRENEURS

When you’re starting out as a new entrepreneur, you’re to-do list is a mile long. You’re thinking about how to monetize your product, who your target audience is, and how to bring your ideas to life. Sound familiar?

Like any entrepreneur with a great idea, Cropdots’ main concerns were budget, quality, and speed to market. With Debut Infotech’s help, the budding company was able to launch a robust native iPhone app in eight weeks that didn’t break their budget, and provided a clean interface and professional-grade e-commerce functionality.

The User Experience is Key

Cropdots partnered with Debut Infotech’s team of offshore specialists to craft the Marketplace. Our team’s dedicated development resources allow us to focus on translating your ideas into creative technology solutions and applications, while you focus on getting your business up and running.

We were able to develop a mobile application that met these requirements by leveraging users’ internal GPS’s to pinpoint nearby vendors selling fresh produce. The intuitive interface helped users browse product photos and descriptions before seamlessly placing an order from the app. The secure e-commerce platform uses Stripe technology to instantly deliver payments to and from most major banks. Users have the choice to pick up or browse delivery options for their produce. Vendors can quickly photograph and upload listings for the produce and broadcast their goods so users can find them.

Rapid Development

Within 10 weeks, Cropdots’ app came to life. Using offshore resources like our team ensures you get your product faster and saves money on local agencies that charge exorbitant fees for their development work. Technology is the heart of Debut Infotech’s business model, and we believe in delivering high-quality technology solutions that are fairly priced so we can take part in the amazing innovation your ideas bring to your communities.

UNPARALLELED EXPERTISE

Another benefit of working with Debut Infotech is our deep understanding of cutting-edge application development.

Behind the scenes, our team built Cropdots’ backend system using Laravel MVC framework and an MYSQL database to ensure reliable api calls between vendor and user information. Using Apple’s new SWIFT 2 and core data models, the iOS app data can be seamlessly organized and integrated for a faster, easier user experience. This robust data management system, combined with the app’s secure, encrypted payment platform make Cropdots as powerful as it is beautiful. When working with Debut Infotech, all you have to do is come up with an idea, and our engineers will take care of the rest to ensure the application works flawlessly.

Cropdots is a fun, shared economy that relies on technology to bring people and the products they care about together. Debut Infotech delivers fast, powerful results by accelerating the production cycle and powering the creative process with a team of dedicated technology leaders.

Fresh thinking keeps the business world spinning. No idea is too bold. No gap is too wide. No app is too much. We are willing to make that leap of faith. We believe in being the best at what we do. How? By consistently looking for and trying out new and better ways to do things.

Deliver Results

When you ring a bell, you can make noise or you can create harmony. When it rains, it can get dark and dreary, or produce a rainbow. Results matter most. We keep this in mind, and in focus, which is how we always deliver the desired results, with apps that work amazingly well.

Embrace Transparency

You want conversation, go to a coffee shop. You want philosophy, talk to Plato. You want apps that make you go WOW, come to Debut Infotech. We are who we are because we breathe, live and sleep apps. Apps make our world go around. That's as clear and simple as it gets.

Seek Mastery

You can become an expert when you do something over and over. Practice makes perfect and so on. However when you do it the 100th time with the same enthusiasm you had the first time, then you do it with something be prepared to learn every time.

Take Ownership

The flag doesn't fly at the base of a mountain. A sovereign does not look around for responsibility. Similarly every individual at Debut Infotech reigns supreme in his or her domain. Why? Because they've arrived at where they are after scaling the heights and exploring the edges.

Have Fun

Dancing to the tune playing in your head is preferred to scratching it. Climbing a wall is better than getting stuck behind it. It's important to enjoy working because only then can we produce the desired result. Doing cartwheels in the aisle between workstations or on the conference table isn't frowned upon but rather encouraged.

Idea

Your idea is handled with care. Non-Disclosure Agreements and Non-Competitive Clauses are standard before commencing any project. We take all the necessary steps to ensure the strictest confidence to protect our client's interests.

Initial Discussion

First things first. You brief us on your project. You tell us about your idea. Or you can keep things completely confidential and request for an initial discussion to evaluate mutual compatibility and comfort levels.

Proposal/Contract

Once we agree on the scope of work, then a proposal is submitted with complete breakdown of project costs and schedule. This is followed by a contract indicating the key deliverables and payment milestones.

Workshop

We'll put our minds together in an interactive session to explore every possible aspect of the project. Product strategy and usage parameters are discussed, defined and refined. ROI, UX and analytics are taken into account so we can make data-driven decisions.

Sprint Planning

We chart a course for the design and development process. Every cycle of product development is defined such as design, prototyping, development, deployment, testing and review. Resources are allocated, roles defined and schedules set.

Iterative Development

The product is designed, tested, modified and features added so that it grows and develops with optimal use of time and resources. Collaborative interaction, constant feedback and course-corrections allow room for flexibility and improvement during the development process.

Beta Launch

Release a user-ready version while continuing to improve and modify the product to resolve issues. Gain the advantage of relevant and reliable user driven feedback. Evaluate product performance and its ability to deliver solutions in the real world.

Maintain

Ensure that the product functions to its optimal performance level and also generates maximum returns. Smart product management involves tracking high level user behavior as well as minor details to expand user benefits and relevance.
